Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, June 2.-The proceedings OF the Cham
berlain party at Birmingham mark the first defi-
mite step toward the formation OF new party as
opposed to the mere secession from liberalism.
Chamberlain is clearly anxious for this though
Harrington, should say, is not. Chamberains
idea is to place himself at the head of the demo-
cratic unionists, who, in time, he hopes with the
settlement OF the Irish question, may become a
new substitute for the old liberal party. Cham
berlain, however, exaggerates his influence. Har-
tingtOn Is the real leader OF the secession Cham
berain is only an active and more or less unscru-
pulouS lieutenant. The real hope OF the unioniSt
party is as some one said TO me the other day,
that the Duke or Devonshire may live Tor ten
years. and so keep Harrington out OF the house OF
lords Gladstone may die this year next. This,
with the death or Withdrawal OF Parnell and the
consequent handing over OF the Irish party more
completely to the control OF its more ardent
spirits may be the best thing that could happen
the unionistS. They hope for some, II not all, OF
these advantages. Their tone, consequently, Is as
1rrecOnctlable as ever.

Quite a Different Aspect on il.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, June 2.-Some sensation has been caused
by the recent publication OF Gen. lie Flos dispatches
In the Paris Figaro, which are intended TO show
that Germany deliberately sought In 1873 TO make
war on France, and was only restrained by the in
tervention of Gortchakof and Alexander III. The
answer to these dispatches is given In Bismarcks
organ, which publishes the dispatches OF Prince
LIE Fl0S eXcttabe mind. Russia took no part un-
friendly to Germany. On the whole France shows
badly In the correspondence. CuriOusly enough,
the nervousness in France has In no way abated.
The talk is everywhere OF war In 1890. The fear
OF prOvOcatiOn by Bismarck is almost as great as
It was In 1875.

LONDON, June 2.-lrving's performance of

cess, but hardly more. Everybody" was there,
everybody expected to be moderately pleased, and
most people got more pleasure than they expected.
The play is almost intolerably bad and does not
contain a single well written speech. The best
scenes only belong to average melodrama- The best
scene Unexpectedly Frederick Marshall toIrvtngs
Werner is that In which Werner is made to ex.
change some pretty condolences by Ida, character
which Byron declared he had created, but which
really he did nothing but shadow in the faintest
outline. Irving was tender, impressive, artistic
and almost devoid Of mannerism. The stage
effects were quite perfect, the costumes correct
and necessarily beautiful The result is that
Irving is encouraged to try the experiment or a
second representation, which Will probably take
place next year after his American tour.
